Here we sought to determine if this cloning method could be adapted to use zygotes as recipients for somatic cell nuclei. In parallel, we have investigated a related issue: the developmental effect of ...

Several aspects of mitochondrial genetics are relevant to the understanding of mitochondrial transmission during nuclear transfer. First, there are approximately 100,000 copies of mtDNA (a ...

In two papers published in 2004 and 2005, the South Korean team of now-discredited Woo Suk Hwang reported, first, that it had succeeded in creating cloned human embryos via nuclear transfer and, later ...

In principle, somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is a potent tool for scientists looking to produce exact genetic replicas of a particular animal. By injecting a nucleus from an adult cell into an ...

Mitochondrial DNA moving to the nucleus contributes to genomic instability in cancer cells, and a novel Fiber-FISH technique can rapidly map the mitochondrial DNA insertions in nuclear genomes ...

Synthetic cannabinoids, a class of new psychoactive substances, bind to cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2 much more strongly than tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), raising public ...
